NOTES ON A STATUE FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF UNION FROM ALBA IULIA

2016

This study proposes to re-evaluate a marble statue from the old collections of the National Museum of Union Alba Iulia. It was discovered by A. Cserni during excavations carried out at the Palace of the Governors of Roman Dacia, in 1898. It has been repeatedly published by Á. Hekler and Al. Diaconescu. While the latter author established dating and iconographic prototype of the statue, we believe that further details as discovery place and context, depiction, iconographic attribution and role of this work of art can be offered. Presence of a follower at the feet of the divinity, more precisely the right foot of a character – child, conveys us the idea of depiction of Eros, god of love. Usua…

Energy and environmental assessment of heritage building retrofit

2020

In the transition to a low-energy economy, the building stock renovation should address the reduction of the environmental impacts, by means of suitable energy retrofits oriented to meet current energy efficiency regulations, construction guidelines, and standards on comfort and operation. With regard to the historic segment of the building stock, suitable refurbishment policies are needed to avoid the loss of their heritage values, even if this is a complex issue requiring interdisciplinary approaches, dedicated diagnostic procedures, and specific tools. In this paper a suitable method for energy and environmental assessment specifically devoted to historical building retrofit, following a…

Energy and Economic Comparison of Different Conditioning System among Traditional and Eco-Sustainable Building

2013

The use of bioclimatic principles can reduce energy demands and CO2 emissions in the building sector [1-. Costs are one of the most important barriers to a widespread adoption of the green architecture technologies [4-. The aim of this study is to compare the energy and economic performances of two buildings: a real residential bioclimatic building located in Cinisi (a small town near Palermo, Sicily) and an imaginary residential building supposed having the same geographical location, cubature, shape and orientation as the bioclimatic building but built by conventional building materials. The tools used for this study were TRNSYS and HOMER

On the impact of safety requirements, energy prices and investment costs in street lighting refurbishment design

2018

Abstract Street lighting is an indispensable feature for the night landscape of cities. It is important for road safety, users visual comfort, crime prevention and to augment the perceived personal safety. Realize and maintain an adequate street lighting service is very expensive for municipalities with significant impact on their budgets. For this reason, special attention should be paid to the design of new street lighting systems and to the refurbishment of existing ones, since many of them are inadequate. In light of this it is very important to implement street lighting designs that fulfil lighting requirements avoiding energy waste and light pollution and, at the same time, result eco…

Acciones para mejorar la eficiencia energética en los edificios en Europa: estado del arte sobre los standards técnicos

2022

The paper is aimed at reviewing the state of the art of the European technical normative implementation during the last decades concerning the building energy efficiency. Indeed, it is well acknowledged that the present building stock is largely obsolete and inefficient: in the European context alone, around 75% of the buildings is not energy efficient and most are expected to be in use until 2050. Consequently, buildings require not only a general rehabilitation, to extend, or even avoid, its end-of-life time, but also a complete afterthought of their energy performance. That is extremely urgent to improve the overall sustainability of the construction sector that, alone, is one of the mai…

Il restauro del monumento Gravina Bonanno di Montevago nel camposanto di S. Orsola a Palermo

2013

Oggetto della pubblicazione è la tomba mausoleo nel cimitero di S. Orsola di Palermo per Pellegra Gravina Bonanno di Montevago, ultima discendente ed unica erede dei principi di Montevago, tra i cui congiunti erano illustri personalità come il generale Federico Carlo Gravina (lo sconfitto della battaglia di Trafalgar) e il Cardinale Pietro, arcivescovo di Palermo. Il monumento, che si configura come un tempio distico in antis dorico siculo e risente anche di influenze canoviane, viene qui attribuito alla progettazione dell’architetto Emmanuele Palazzotto (1798-1872), autore di importanti architetture a Palermo, tra cui i campanili neogotici sul Palazzo Arcivescovile, e all’esecuzione di Giu…

1537-1538. Una nuova loggia per i Catalani? in: Nobile M.R., Scaduto F., Architettura e magnificenza nella Palermo del primo Cinquecento: il prospett…

2008

A una attenta analisi, la misteriosa facciata nota come prospetto della chiesa di Santa Eulalia dei Catalani a Palermo risulta essere il frammento superstite di una Loggia pubblica realizzata (e forse mai completata)a partire dalla fine degli anni trenta del Cinquecento. La comunità e i banchieri catalani presenti a Palermo sono certamente i promotori di una architettura all'antica che si avvia dopo il trionfale ingresso dell'imperatore Carlo V in città (1535). Lo studio di questo edificio e le ipotesi sulla spazialità interna risultano estremamente illuminanti per comprendere una fase architettonica ancora poco nota nella capitale del Regno di Sicilia.

Arquitectura en Valencia 1833-1868. De la crisis del Academicismo a los historicismos

Questa ricerca si concentra sull’analisi dell’architettura valenziana durante il regno di Isabella II (1833-1868).L’architettura valenziana é sempre stata studiata in comparazione all’architettura madrilena, considerata pertanto come un riflesso tardivo e indebolito rispetto a quella della capitale. Tuttavia questa é una visione che semplifica l’attività architettonica di un momento caratterizato dalla sua complessità ideologica e culturale. Per tutte queste ragioni, gli obiettivi fissati in questo progetto di ricerca sono: in primo luogo, analizzare se il processo politico di istaurazione e di affermazione del sistema liberale ha avuto effetti sull’architettura valenziana. Il secondo obiet…
